The smart way of set custom validations message in laravel without making a request class

I found difficulties to set custom validation message without making a request class. That's why I am explaining it for a better understanding.

Default validation of laravel:

public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request, [
            'name' => 'required|unique:categories',
        ]);
        $input = $request->all();
        Category::create($input);

        Session::flash('create_category','Category created successfully');
        return redirect('admin/categories');
    }

It will show the default message of laravel. In this question-answer section I will show how easily I solved this problem with the help of laravel documentation. you can find other ways of doing this here in laravel documentation.

You have to simply pass the three values to the validate parameter.

  • Your input as $request
  • Your rules as $rules
  • Your custom message as $message
public function store(Request $request)
{
    $rules = ['name'=>'required|unique:categories'];
    $message = [
        'name.required' => 'The category name is required',
        'name.unique'   => 'Category name should be unique'
    ];
    $this->validate($request, $rules, $message);

    $input = $request->all();
    Category::create($input);

    Session::flash('create_category','Category created successfully');
    return redirect('admin/categories');
}

I found that this is the smartest way of doing custom validation without making a request class. If your input field is a few and you want to your validation in the controller then you can do your validation in this way.

Thank's for reading.
